This twenty-three year old Italian has caught the eye of the fashion industry, and with her Central Saint Martins BA collection, she has managed to land a job working at Valentino. Alithia used foam cut outs to give the effect of paper and paired the dramatic pieces with simple pencil skirt sillhouettes. her work was inspired by both kimonos and modern buildings, both western ways of thinking and asian. "Her collection mixes elements as romantic and fragile as a flower with something so crude and long lasting as a modern building" (itsweb).
